Heart rate variability during sympatho-excitory challenges: comparison between spontaneous and metronomic breathing

Article Abstract:

This article examines the influence of respiration on heart rate variablity, suggesting the need to control respiration in experimental circumstances, however it also creates an increase in heart rate. The authors attempted to arrive at autonomic function both with and without use of controlled respiration rate, finding that metronomic breathing and spontaneous breathing are similar.

Alzheimer's: no pain or no complain?

Article Abstract:

An examination is presented on the low administration of analgesics to patients with Alzheimer's disease, and whether this is associated with patients feeling less pain or due to their restricted ability to report their pain to others.
